This is a good book for parents who’d like to teach their kids the nitty gritty details about the moon landing. Personally, I thought it was a bit too fact heavy. There are large walls of text in this book that are atypical to Little Golden Book stories. This is the first historical book by them that I’ve read, so that may play a part in my perspective. But again, a good historical reference tool and includes a simple Saturn V blueprint.

I was excited when I saw this coming out. I wanted to share the moonlanding story with my niece and nephew this July to remember the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and this was perfect! Can't wait to share it with them.

A great children’s book to teach children’s about the moon landing. I believe it will teach children so much about the the first man walking on the moon!

Very thorough, but some of the explanations may be slightly more technical than the ideal audience would want.

Very cute book meant for kids, but wonderful for all ages!

This book gives a great summary of the first moon landing in 1969. Plus, the pictures look great!

brought me back to my childhood when we watched the landing on a 7 inch black and white TV while camping.

I can't believe the rocket out of the atmosphere traveled 24,000 miles per hour. the seeds in space are amazing.
